Family Aphidid^. 

 ( Mr. C. E. Sanborn has worked up the species which he was able to find 

 in the state and published the results under the title of "Kansas Aphididae," 

 in University Science Bulletin, volume III, Nos. 1 and 8. However, I am 

 able to record the following two species whose names are not entered on 

 the separate Kansas list. The determinations were made by Mr. Sanborn.) 

 Schizoneura americana Riley. Kansas, Douglas county; August. 



In the twilight of the evening I took several winged specimens. The 

 air had floating in it numerous white insects. After capturing some 

 I noticed it was a cottony secretion which gave them their white ap- 

 pearance and also sustained them or caused them to be wafted along 

 by the wind. They appeared to be leavmg elm trees after a shower 

 of rain. New to Kansas list. 

 Lachnus longistigma Monell. Kansas, Douglas county; May, November; 

 taken while flying. New to Kansas list,
